A review of the cost and effectiveness of solutions to address plastic pollution

Josiane Nikiema et al.

Summary: Plastic usage is increasing year by year, with a low recycling rate, resulting in significant environmental and economic impacts. This review summarizes key solutions to address plastic and microplastic contamination from source to sea, including controlling plastics in solid wastes, in water streams, and microplastics, as well as implementing general policy measures. The guidance provided can help policymakers and practitioners address the plastic and microplastic management problem in a sustainable and cost-efficient way.

A review of mesocosm experiments on heavy metals in marine environment and related issues of emerging concerns

Krishna Venkatarama Sharma et al.

Summary: Mesocosms serve as tools to bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and real-world habitat studies, particularly in understanding complex impacts such as heavy metals, ocean acidification, global warming, and oil spills on ecosystems. The use of plankton and benthos in mesocosm experiments is preferred due to their small size, fast reproduction, and amenability. Mesocosm designs have evolved over the years, considering physical processes, biological complexities, and ecosystem interactions to address unique ecosystem-based science problems.

The role of hydrodynamic fluctuations and wind intensity on the distribution of plastic debris on the sandy beaches of Parana acute accent River, Argentina

Nicolas Garello et al.

Summary: Plastic debris in beach sediments of a large river is influenced by natural hydrological fluctuations and wind intensity, with water flow having a greater capacity for remobilization and transport than wind. The most abundant plastic items found include foam, hard plastic, film, fishing line fragments, as well as fishing line pieces and cigarette filters typically discarded by beach users. The study suggests that the density of macroplastic items is highly correlated to the density of mesoplastic items, serving as a surrogate for further estimations in mitigation strategies.

Stopping Macroplastic and Microplastic Pollution at Source by Installing Novel Technologies in River Estuaries and Waste Water Treatment Plants: The CLAIM Project

Athanasios Gkanasos et al.

Summary: Innovative devices were developed under the CLAIM project to prevent marine pollution from debris, with the CLEAN TRASH system blocking 90% of macrolitters and significant amounts of plastic debris being collected at the Kifissos river estuary. Additionally, the lab-scale prototype of the filtering system for MPs showed an efficiency of about 95% and resulted in a reduction of plastic pollution by 87% in the Saronikos Gulf area over a 2-year period.

R. Tramoy et al.

Summary: The emission of macroplastics from the Seine estuary to the English Channel was estimated to be around 100-200 metric tons per year based on institutional cleaning of riverbanks and a tagged litter experiment. (64 words)

An inshore-offshore sorting system revealed from global classification of ocean litter

Carmen Morales-Caselles et al.

Summary: Global marine litter is dominated by plastic items from take-out food and fishing activities, with litter mainly trapped in nearshore areas and land-sourced plastic reaching the open ocean predominantly as small fragments.
